"right pale yellow. Pure but subdued nose offers musky citrus fruits, acacia flower and spices. Very ripe, round, sweet and silky, with aromatic flavors of apricot, wild herbs and linden tea. In a distinctly feminine, open-knit style thanks to its well-integrated acidity ("this site gets plenty of late afternoon sun," notes Fontaine). The suave finish features sneaky persistence."

Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
